[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinessex:
Hi im so sorry for making yet another thread for the camera autofocus noise but it seems devs keep ignoring this.

the camera auto focus on different roms will be worse. sometimes doing it when you turn the phone on when you use flashlight and even sometimes when the card is being read. and im sick of hearing devs blame it on the camera model or that its always been there. my camera never made any noise till i installed miui and ever since it makes noise even when i revert to stock roms. the best its been is on villian rom.

this is obviously a problem with the firmware being used or something else that devs are doing or not doing. can someone please devote some time to get this fixed please. im not the only one who feels this way and i think its wrong for devs to lead us to believe its normal when its clearly not if it effects different on different roms and that obviously the noise wasnt there before. i think its a serious fix needed.

so please please please someone get to the bottom of this

PLEASE NO ONE POST INLESS YOUR HERE TO WORK TOWARDS A FIX
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Actually i posted to let you know that if you have an OC camera, it's normal. All OC cameras make that noise, no matter what rom you are using :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinessex:
and like i said before if thats so then mine wouldnt of not made noise then now makes it. so please no comments like that on here please its not getting this problem sorted
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Ok, sorry for stating the obvious. Please find somebody with an OC camera that doesn't act like that, be it on stock or custom rom and then we can talk about fixing things. If that's default behavior for OC cameras and looks like it is, no dev can fix it. But i have a fix for you: replace your phone with another SII that doesn't have an OC camera. Easiest fix in the world and you can do it yourself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinessex:
i seen people who have had se firmwares and the update gave them oc and visa versa. so obviously the firmware code has no relavence to the camera. if what you say was right then the above wouldnt be possible. check out the camera firmware upgrade thread and see for yourself
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
I'm checking that thread often, cause i'm interested in a fix myself, but i still don't buy that firmware change, since no one else succeeded in changing an OC camera to a SC one. There's only 1 report of it. Can't really compare 1 report to all the owners with an OC camera that confirmed the clicking noises regardless of roms, firmware updates and everything else. I got no quarrel with you and i really wish you could find someone with an OC camera that doesn't behave like that. I couldn't find any and i investigated both on several forums and in real life with friends who own SII.

P.S. And i'm pretty sure if that guy uploads his apk your phone will say camera already has the latest update and can't install it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinessex:
the apk doesnt work. you cant do it like that i tried. u have to have a firmware upgrade apk or be compiled from scratch. just taking the apk out through root explorer wont make any difference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Tested all the firmware update apks posted in that thread. None could be applied and my cam remained OC002, even though people reported that they had 002 and it turned to 009, which i highly doubt it can be done just by updating camera, cause 009 is an older version and camera wouldn't let you downgrade to a previous version. My phone has no root, so i don't have any other options than wait for another firmware update from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinessex:
been speaking to codework. would have to be pushed in through system/ect/firmware and it seems that the roms only come with oc type firmwares. so the roms have never been giving the phone the options for the se type firmwares. things are started to prove my point now. think codework is looking into it more now cause my theory is started to maybe be true
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSpecial:
I have OCED11 ver of camera and today I heard that sound when entering camera, and when switching from photo to video mode. I don't remember hearing it before, but if others have it also, then it's nothing abnormal. I bought phone 1 month ago, and didn't install any custom apps and etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
After doing a little research, it looks like Android does not support CISCO VPN's using pre-shared keys??? How could that possibly be if Andoid is supposed to make it's way into the enterprise arena? I can't even use it to connect to my employers network!! Even iDevices can do that by default! Please tell me I'm missing somehting!!

There is a link for creating and storing a key on android. If you are looking for an AnyConnect client it appears there is a beta but it requires root:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Thanks for the info - I appreciate it! Haven't root'd my TF yet, but the reasons to are building up...

Didn't see anything about PSK's in that thread, but maybe I missed it - I'll read through it again. For the life of me, I can't understand why Android is still missing this functionality - especially with all of the Android tablets now - they make much better remote-control devices than phones do - would be nice to use them to access our work servers when needed!

I got one class 10 but from Transcend for 25euro and it's so sweet!

Because I want to flash allot of roms that are 300mb+ it's really handy to get the files up there fast. And you can shoot 1080p at 30mb without any problem :D
[HTC Sensation] ziggy34:
I just got a 32 gig, same brand.

Do they ship in Belgium ?
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Anyone used SD Tools on the PNY class 10? Want to know what you get.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
They get here tomorrow, so after I get off work I'll run it and post the results.
[HTC Sensation] johndoe411:
I got the Transcend 16GB class 10 from Newegg.com, also for $35.

According to SD Tools benchmark, write speed is around 11mb/s and read speed is 18 mb/s.
[HTC Sensation] snkrfrkr127:
I picked up my 16gb pny from bestbuy org. Price: $49.99... With my gf's discount: 21.50 :D
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
Alright. I just installed it and did the following in CWM before I even booted up with it:

Format

Partition

- 2048 ext

- 256 swap

Reboot System

Once up, I installed SD tools and these are the results. Not too bad if you ask me.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Anyone managed to find a good Class 10 16GB SD card in the UK?

The selection on Amazon doesn't look great sadly
[HTC Sensation] holdened:
Its time for me to buy a new one replacing the sensation one
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Play.com. they have a few at decent prices.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] jeremymacmull:
I bought the pny one from play.com works well i get about 17 mb/sec read and 15 mb/sec write worth getting.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Thanks guys :) Yeah, I noticed the PNY one is meant to be pretty good.

They also have the Lexar Class 10 32GB one at a decent price. But will probably stick with 16GB for a while.
[HTC Sensation] dink1000:
i've got one off low price memory in my sensation.

it's the inov8 branded one.

on sd tools it scores about 10.5 write 17 read

Sweden seems to be too small of a market

Since the amount of products that are shipped internationally from Amazon/eBay is pathetically low, I ask if anyone know any good Class 10 cards which can be delivered to Sweden? 16, but especially 32 GB is of interest.

[HTC Sensation] A8_Tony:
on play.com do a search for 16Gb class 10...you'll find a few on there.

I just tested my standard card (I think it's SanDisk) and got 5.2Mb/s write :mad:, and 17.3Mb/s read :D
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
I'm looking elsewhere, I found a MicroSD card on Play.com but they suspended my account after I cancelled two orders (first one was wrong card and second was out of stock).

Crappy shop.
[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
I've used play.com a few times now - normally their service is good (I remember getting the first Matrix film (Region 1) in my hand on day of release) but everywhere has bad days.

fingers crossed this card will do the bizz - not massively concerned about the speed tbh - I am more interested in having an extra 8gb of storage to play with - imho this the only thing that lets down the Sensation it's lack of native storage (something the SGS2 has it beat on)
[HTC EVO 3D] Clay333:
I was looking through /system with root explorer to see what I notice that it new from the EVO 4G and I stubbled across a file called adreno_config.txt. I opened it and read through parts of it and it has a lot of values that can be changed. I changed binning from software to hardware and noticed a very slight jump in benchmark scores using antutu benchmark. Mainly I noticed smoother scrolling on homescreens and webpages with a lot of flash content. I was hoping maybe a dev or someone who knows alittle more about these things than I do could look thru this file and see if we could get a performance boost from anything in this file. The exact path to the file is /system/etc/adreno_config.txt. thanks and hopefully something good could come of this. One of the big things I noticed was antialiasing settings that were all turned off by default. If this has already been looked at then I am sorry for the double post and don't mind being told I'm wrong.

I will upload the file if needed, but I figure that anyone who would know anything about this should already have root and s-off so it is really pointless.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
seems like an AWESOME find. subscribed
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Don't apologize, sounds like you found something thar we can tinker with. Good post.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
did a little bit of searching about this config file..it seems it got monkeyed around with while they were trying to achieve s-off, but I cant find anything showing any performance differnces from changing the values, so hopefully were on to something good
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Could you post it? I'll take a look to see if the file can improve performance.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
just use root explorer to go in and grab it from your phone. i would definetely make a backup of it on your sd card and nandroid before messing around with it. I dont have s-off just yet (computer is down) or Id mess with it myself
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
here it is
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Thanks I'll take a look to see what he's talking about exactly.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
From what it looks, it looks like it is the Adreno 220 graphics configuration settings. It seems it can be tweaked, but I do not know entirely since this is a phone.

Take a look at these lines...

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Specify the allocation strategy for multisampling antialiasing buffers.

; Valid values:

; on_demand - allocate MSAA buffer on demand. This is the default value.

; always - always allocate MSAA buffer.

; never - never allocate an MSAA buffer.

;

;MSAABufferAllocation=on_demand

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Force the MSAA antialiasing mode to the value in MSAAMode.

; Valid values:

; 0 - (default) do not force the MSAA antialiasing mode.

; 1 - force the MSAA antialiasing mode to the values in MSAAMode and MSAASmoothing.

;

;forceMSAAMode=0

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Specifiy the antialiasing mode to use if forceMSAAMode is enabled.

; Valid values:

; 0 - (default) do not antialias.

; 1 - use 2x antialiasing.

; 2 - use 4x antialiasing.

;

;MSAAMode=0

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Now I don't know if this will fully improve performance, but I do know that when I am tweaking files like this for a PC video card, it'll make all the difference in the world for running games. But these files are within the games directory so this seems to be some sort of universal settings. I don't know entirely since this is a phone. Someone with knowledge in regards to this please chime in.

Yup this has to do with the configuration settings, it is universal. I can see an FPS cap option. Our evos aren't capped by FPS, if anyone would want to know that.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Cap value for frames per second. Do not cap if value < 0 or value > 1000.

; Valid values:

; 0 - (default) do not cap.

; Int - (integer) cap to this number of frames per second if N 1000.

;

;FPSCap=0

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

I'll probably tweak this file to see if it really does anything, but I don't have the time to fiddle with it right now. Anyone who has knowledge in regards to phones, I don't mind if you chime in and educate.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
good ****..

i just sent viper a pm and well see what he says about it.

He's one of the more popular devs in the dev section
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
I pm'ed two Devs... I know files like this are used always in computers for adjusting configurations precisely rather than using presets. I'm just not entirely sure for a phone lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
to get full benefit of these tweaks, you must use chainfire 3D PRO, and enable EGL beta driver when you install CF3D driver. Also, since you have pro, go ahead and hide CF3Ds announce ID. good luck, have fun.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I assume this is what joelZ9614 might have used to "force GPU UI rendering" mentioned in his Shooter Rewind ROM changelog
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I don't believe so, there is another way to do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
gotcha. well viper says he's gonna f around with it tonight and report back. so tilde your saying this is only going to benefit gamplay and not system operations?

edit: and here comes viper lol. right on time
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
I always wonder what that meant. If anyone uses his ROM, is there a noticeable difference using it?
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Most likely gameplay only.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I've enabled it in my ROM (in my test build) and it seems a little smoother, not amazingly different, but every little bit helps :)
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Joel just told me he's seen the file but hasn't bothered looking into it at first.. he said he's going to though.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Im using it right now, its smooth and fast. Im not really into gaming though, I havent tried anything in that department.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
This can probably be tweaked to lie in benchmarks lol.. I can imagine someone cheating benchmarks like crazy if this turns out to be what it is lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
nope... remember android 2.3.3 enables hardware acceleration @ UI
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Fudgestickles! I didn't know about that.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Just wait for the next SGS2 fanboy troll to post in our forum MWAHAHAHA!
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
i thought that was honeycomb?

viper says he's may try implementing this into the project he's working on now if it turns out to be good. shout out to the OP for finding it
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Me too, I thought honey comb carried that feature. I remember reading something along those lines. Ehh but what do i know about this stuff haha
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
im pretty sure its honeycomb, so tablets could take advantage of HW acceleration, but thats a debate for another thread. we can all find out for sure by ourselves anyways..

ahem..back to the subject at hand
[HTC EVO 3D] Clay333:
Nevermind.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
deleted for the sake of awesomeness.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
ill upload my modified version of the file... then you just adb push... im just gonna set all the values to the highest performance... the kernel (custom kernel) should make up for the slowdown... this phone is way high end... but dont expect too much from the changes.
[HTC EVO 3D] EJerVJerO:
Looking forward to the file you end up putting up here.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
afaik, only Android 3.x (Honeycomb) is the version that has hardware acceleration enabled. now, is it possible to enable that in v2.3.x (Gingerbread)? i'm pretty sure that the HTC Sense 3.0 Lockscreen could benefit from that and make those animations butter smooth.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
force on (on = default which will override app settings.)

{3D Settings} (no not pop-out 3d, just regular gfx 3D)

hardware-assisted binning

double word alignment (we have 64bit after all)

all strips, fans, and loops will convert to lists.

*may cause slight lag on THD games*will report

MSAABufferAllocation=always (from never) ummm precachin anyone?

*almost sure ill have to bring it down to 2x (you can do so by changing it to 1.

oxiliForceSysmemRender=1

*(this is double edged.. .for one, we get blending, but it renders to our RAM... may cause an error)

trivial Fragment Shaders - left this defaulted because i think it is similar to a safe mode feature. not quite sure what it is.

this is really the only thing left to figure out if its better or worse...

performance profiling modes: this should be left at default... (normal) the other options are simply there for 'what if' purposes... they are to test the full R/W speeds of the GPU with and without HW assistance. dont touch :-p

ill be testing it extensively through the week. this MAY lag on a few games but i doubt it... only the THD ones..

**Install**

have ADB in the folder where you put this file. also, have fastboot turned off, if its the first time you disable fastboot, a battery pull IS necessary. you cannot disable it and use the power menu for reboot or off

adb remount

ADB push adreno_config.txt /system/etc/adreno_config.txt

oh and i doubt it will work on ship rooted rom... ADB will not run root in proprietary mode... flash a custom rom AND kernel.

keep in mind that some settings CAN be overwritten with CF3D app, so just know lol. Also, I am currently using the EGL driver from CF3D Pro... but idk if its good or not... need some more info

Update: ive tested it on THD games and see no lag at all. Someone said Switch lags a bit, ive never heard of it, ill check later.
[HTC EVO 3D] luckylui:
Interesting... :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
Update... After installing CF3D, I noticed it did not alter anything in the adreno.txt... Also, here is an updated one, I forgot one setting.

veboSetting=Int (was 0)

LMAO yea don't worry about the lag in any games... This phone is trolling hard vs lag. I've run almost all THD games amazingly... With EGL driver and without. Some games have color issues which actually may be fixed in txt file idk... G2g for a bit... HAVE FUN>!

this is one of the files i edited on a rom i downloaded for my 4g (synergy-kingdom w/ godmode) - it was worth an average of 80 points on 3d graphics increase using quadrant advanced benchmarks.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
meh not bad lol
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
I changed my MSAA sampling to 4x and fxcked around with some more settings and I think my phone is a bit more responsive but haven't gotten around to heavy gaming to see if there really is an effect or if it's just the placebo effect making me think it's performing better. I've been running the 4x sampling for a while and have yet to see what it really does. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] :
All that does is improve image quality. It can be rather taxing.
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Yeah I realized that. The sampling is really for antialiasing, not what I thought in the previous post. I just checked.

Where's DirectX11 Mobile Version? ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Lol I'm thinking the same thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
And you know, if they somehow did manage that, it would be formatted to work beautifully for the E3D/Sensation and all the new dual-core phones. Oh the possibilities...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
One can only imagine.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
Just use the modified file i upd

it isnt.... though it should be. I can see a definate increase in visuals (on THD games) while getting no lag or jitter.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Great find guys. Question: What is the other method of forcing GPU rendering other than this file??
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
i havent read this thread but this shouldnt be causing gpu ui rendering adding this line to the build.prop will though

# Render UI with GPU instead of CPU

debug.sf.hw=1
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
How are you liking your mod? Anything you dislike about it?

I made only 2 edits to the file, binning to hw & I turned on the MSAA/Antialiasing.

Only because those are the only settings I actually have an idea of what they do.

I think I'll give your mod a go.

P.S. (Off topic) If anyone can offer their settings setup with Chainfire 3D & have THD games (Tegra games in general) looking ok, do share. I have Riptide working but everyone looks like a discoball in a nightclub :p the water looks ok.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Thanks man! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
using unroll textures and the one under it i get a better character, sometimes he gets disco balled but not as much... maybe if you check reduce, uncheck unroll, and check the 3rd one it will work better idk... also, i use the beta EGL driver
